16 teams are attending IEM Dallas 2024, a mixture of ESL Partner Teams, Local Heroes, World Rankings, and regional qualifiers.
IEM Dallas is split into two definitive stages: group stage, and playoff stage.
Group Stage will follow a traditional GSL format, with the sixteen teams split into two groups of eight. All opening games are Bo1; and all following matches are Bo3. The top three teams advance to the Playoffs: winners advance to Semifinals; runners-up advance to Quarterfinals as High Seeds; 3rd place teams advance to Quarterfinals as Low Seeds
Playoffs are the usual standard format, whereby it is a single-elimination bracket with all games as Bo3.
Intel Extreme Masters Dallas 2024 will be hosted on both Twitch and YouTube via ESL’s main chnanels. All VODs will be posted at the end of the matchday.
The total prize pool is $250,000, with the winners taking home $100,000, and a direct invite to IEM Cologne 2024.
This years event is building up to be perhaps the best yet, with many in-form teams looking to take the title. MOUZ have gone back-to-back with S-Tier tournament wins, and obviously come into the event with huge confience, However, world-class squads of FaZe, Vitality, Complexity, NAVI, Spirit, and G2 all have recent major wins under their belts and are primed to battle MOUZ all the way. Not only that, but by virtue of being a 16 team event, there are plenty of underdogs that can cause an upset. Watch out for Virtus.pro, FlyQuest, HEROIC, Falcons, and Monte; whilst they may not win the title, they all can certainly make Playoffs.
